Amusing Discovery: Food-Insipred Baby Names

>Food-Inspired Baby Names are booming. Edible names are super hot. Among the most popular, according to babycenter.com: Honey (up more than 100 percent last year) and Clementine (up 25 percent). As usual, celebrities are leading the way: Drew Barrymore and Jason Bateman both recently named their babies after food (Olive and Maple, respectively). "Children and food are two things people love, so it makes sense," says LindaMurray, a senior vice president at the website. "I haven't met a Cupcake yet, but I'm expecting to soon.<

Who knew!? lol.

I was amused to stumble across this new revelation last night while perusing my new Food Network Magazine (May 2013). Seriously that's all it said -> yet I still expect to see a spike in food related names being used by major (and want-to-be) foodies after this. (The article was accompanied by a picture - which was larger than the article - of bibs with the names Olive, Clementine, Sage, Apple and Maple).

I know this isn't news to us but I thought it was fun to see that even food magazines are reporting on naming trends.

I've seen Plum mentioned a bunch of times over the past year or so. I also love Marjolaine (French fr marjoram) and Rosemary, and I've seen Saffron before, too. I can see this theme taking off. It's a natural progression from flower names... these plant-food names are an extension of botanical names, so it makes sense. Interesting!
